GM dumps their Cruise division

GM announced that they are shutting down their robotaxi division, Cruise. They will focus on driver assist features. Not surprising to me given the long time it will take to produce a truly autonomous vehicle and GM doesn’t have deep enough pockets to continue. What do you think?

I think that accident in San Francisco did them in.

Let some other company fight off the lawyers.

I think they are here already. There are autonomous taxis successfully running in a number of cities. See below

Likely each taxis is very expensive to produce, the liability is massive and many municipalities clearly nervous about allowing them.
